Document Summary
Trophic level: energy moving through 1 organism another. Food webs: show feeding relationship and energy flow. Laws of thermodynamics: energy transformed, not created/destroyed, entropy (random) increase. C6h12o6 provide: energy for metabolic activity, building material for growth. Primary production: conversion of solar energy to chemical energy by auto. Gross primary production (gpp): all energy assimilated by auto. Net primary production (npp): energy remain after respiration. Freshwater, tropical, reefs, algal highest npp (plants rapidly convert) Macronutrients: nutrients required in large amounts (n2, c2, p)
